Imon Banerjee is currently working as a Research Scientist at the Biomedical Data Science Dept. Starting from 2016, she was a Post-doctoral scholar in the Laboratory of Quantitative Imaging at Stanford university. She received her Ph.D. from The University of Genova, Italy in 2016. During her Ph.D., she received Marie Curie European fellowship and worked as an early-stage researcher at The Institute for Applied Mathematics and Information Technologies, National Research Council, Italy. During her Ph.D., she developed novel techniques for building patient-specific 3D computational models. She completed her Master thesis in The European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), Geneva. Her research is focused on developing unstructured data analysis and big data mining techniques to support clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Current Role at Stanford
Pauline Becker is the Technical Project Manager at EdTech in the department of Information, Resources & Technology (IRT).

Her primary responsibilities include:* managing the design, implementation and maintenance of the MediaFlow system, the school of medicine's video capture system* coordinating the Stanford Medicine Interactive Learning Initiative (SMILI: http://smili.stanford.edu), an inter-disciplinary and cross-institutional steering committee for school of medicine online learning activities* overseeing the Surgery Septris project, a project to create an education game for surgical decision making, based on the existing game Septris, for treatment of sepsis

Pauline Becker has been an active member of the Stanford community for 19 years. She has an undergraduate degree in Human Biology (1998) and a masters in Learning, Design and Technology (1999). In 1998, she received the Albert H. Hastorf Award for Outstanding Service for excellence in teaching, from the Program in Human Biology. She has worked in industry as a quality assurance engineer and online community manager (Macromedia, 1999-2002). Since then she was a program manager at SUMMIT (Stanford University Medical Media & Information Technologies), where in partnership with PATH (a nonprofit international health organization) she headed the technical and educational design side of the AIM e-Learning project, dedicated to delivering online content to national health policy makers.

In her work for AIM e-Learning, Becker traveled to India, Uganda, Thailand, WHO Geneva and CDC Atlanta, where between designing and implementing appropriate technologies to deliver educational content, she conducted training sessions, usability studies and user needs surveys. She was introduced to the major issues and players in international health, in discussions with global partners and in-country staff.

At Stanford, Becker worked with medical students to develop the new course Rethinking International Health. The course uses online interviews of important figures in international health as a springboard for discussion of the major issues. Becker also worked with PATH and the World Health Organization in the redesign of a WHO computer-based tool for measles strategic planning.

Becker's research interests include the use of simulations and "serious games" (games for learning) in medical and health education. Her work on AIM e-Learning and the use of Web-based patient simulators for assessment in medical education has been published in peer-reviewed conference proceedings. She is fluent in conversational French and enjoys entertaining.

Serena Bidwell, MPH is a social science researcher at the Stanford Surgery Policy Improvement Research & Education (S-SPIRE) center. She completes a range of activities from research project coordination to data analysis and result reporting. Her interests include diagnosis and management of childhood diseases, cancer treatment strategies, and healthcare infrastructure in developing countries. She completed a master's thesis examining trends of incidence and survival in pediatric cancer patients in Thailand and has coupled her academic training with experience as an editorial assistant for a scientific journal and as a child health outcomes analyst. She is committed to community service and is actively working to develop medical outreach programs to local low-income youth.
